Abstract

The Old Bethpage landfill, covering approximately 65 acres, is located in Old Bethpage, Town of Oyster Bay, Nassau Country, New York. Two public drinking-water wells, a residential community, an industrial park, and a state park, exist within the site's general vicinity. Beginning in 1958, the Town of Oyster Bay operated the landfill as a municipal landfill. In addition to accepting municipal wastes and garbage, local industrial wastes were disposed of on the landfill during the late 1960s and early 1970s. A system designed to collect, store, treat, and dispose of leachate has been operating at the site since 1983. There are three remedial actions currently underway at the site. They include: leachate collection, methane gas collection, and landfill capping. The primary contaminants of concern affecting ground water include: VOCs, TCE, benzene, toluene, inorganics, chromium, and lead. Air is contaminated with methane gas and VOCs.

Health assessment for Syosset Landfill, Nassau County, Syosset, New York, Region 2. CERCLIS No. NYD000511360. Preliminary report

Technical Report

The Syosset Landfill, located in the Town of Oyster Bay, Nassau County, New York is approximately forty-four acres in size. From 1936 to 1974 the landfill received mixed municipal refuse, cesspool pump-out wastes, and industrial wastes. Ground water on-site is contaminated with organic and inorganic compounds including elevated levels of heavy metals (lead, arsenic, chromium and cadmium) reflective of industrial-waste disposal. A public water-supply well near the landfill was closed in 1974 due to problems allegedly resulting from the leachate plume emanating from the landfill. Due to the high permeability of soils contaminant migration through ground water can be rapid.more »« less
Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 1): Old Springfield Landfill, Vermont (first remedial action), September 1988

Technical Report

The Old Springfield Landfill site is located approximately one mile southwest of the city center in Springfield, Windsor County, Vermont. Four areas of contamination have been identified at the site where industrial waste was either disposed of in discrete trenches or mixed with the municipal waste. The primary contaminants are VOCs including benzene, PCE, TCE, toluene, and other organics including PCBs and PAHs. The selected remedial action for this site includes: construction of an underground collection system to collect leachate; installation of wells for extraction of contaminated ground water; onsite treatment of the collected leachate and extracted ground water.
Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 2): Syosset Landfill, Nassau County, Syosset, NY. (First remedial action), September 1990

Technical Report

The 35-acre Syosset Landfill site is a closed municipal landfill in Syosset, Oyster Bay, New York. From 1933 to 1975, commercial, industrial, residential, demolition, and agricultural wastes, sludge, and ash were disposed of in the onsite landfill. Typical wastes included heavy metals, solvents, organics, oils, sludges, and metal hydroxides. The county closed the landfill in 1975 because of suspected ground water contamination. Subsequent studies have confirmed ground water contamination beneath and downgradient of the site resulting from landfill leachate. The Record of Decision (ROD) addresses source control at the site. A subsequent ROD will address onsite ground water contamination. Themore »« less

Technical Report

The Volney Landfill site, located in the Town of Volney, Oswego County, New York, is a 55-acre, unlined municipal landfill. From 1969 until 1983 municipal-waste disposal operations occurred at the site. Most of the waste disposed of at the site consisted of typical residential, commercial, institutional, and light industrial waste. However, between March 1974 and January 1975, Pollution Abatement Services, a hazardous-waste incineration facility, was permitted to dispose of approximately 8000 drums containing only residue coatings. Allegedly, 50 - 200 of these drums contained unidentified liquid waste. The condition of these alleged drums is unknown, as is their location withinmore »« less
